Parameters

An ITypeDescriptorContext that provides a format context.
- culture
A CultureInfo. If a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed, the current culture is assumed.
- value
The Object to convert.
- destinationType
The Type to convert the value parameter to.
Return Value
An Object that represents the converted value.The most common types to convert are to and from a string object. This implementation calls ToString on the object if the object is valid and if the destination type is a string.
Use the context parameter to extract additional information about the environment from which this converter is invoked. This parameter can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), so always check it. Also, properties on the context object can return a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
